Kiya flashed the flashlight around their surroundings, then suddenly...
They had a slight view of a little girl. They weren't sure what it was, but Kate was a hundred percent sure about what she saw.
Kate started screaming and crying. Aian comforted her and asked her what's wrong. "Baby, are you alright?! What's wrong, Kate?!", He asked. "The... The little... Girl...", Kate said with a quavering voice. "You mean the one in the picture..?", Asked David. "Y-yes...".
Everyone was freaking out and going insane. Once again, Kiya flashed the flashlight around, and they saw something written on the wall with blood.
DON'T BE SCARED
I JUST WANT TO HELP YOU, FRIENDS
But this did not calm them at all. Unless, it made them much more afraid.
"What does this little girl want from us?!", Asked Ruth. "Well, she wants to help us. Do you know how to read?", Replied Rizi. "Well, girl, I know these motherf*ckers lie in the movies.", Said Ruth. "Whatever. How will you help us, little girl? And what's your name? Are you lost like us?", Asked Rizi.
As soon as she said this, sentence on the wall was forming, written with blood. They all got scared and stunned.
I JUST WANT TO PLAY
"Uhm... I don't think you're lost... A lost soul..?", Said Julia. "I think so... But, what does she exactly want to play..?", Asked Kate.
Another sentence forming on the wall written with blood.
I WILL HELP YOU OUT
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PLAY MY FAVORITE GAMES WHEN I WAS ALIVE.
They were all petrified and confused. "Oh... You like games... Just like how my ex just played me.", Rizi said, making her best friend laugh, Ruth. "Now is not the time to make jokes, Riz.", James said, scolding them. "Whatever.", Both Rizi and Ruth said.
Unexpectedly, something was getting written on the wall again.
SHALL WE START?
TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS
"My bad, lol. Let's start. I can't wait. For sure, Kate is gonna lose first.", Said Ruth. Rizi laughed while the rest just rolled their eyes.
Written on the wall was
GLAD TO SEE YOU ALL EXCITED
LET'S PLAY CIRCUS!
"What do we do? What are the rules?", Asked Oliver.
This time, nothing was written on the wall. But now, a sheet of paper flew into Ruth's hand. Ruth read the sheet for them.
CIRCUS
THIS GAME REQUIRES A TOTAL OF 4+ PLAYERS.
ONE OF THE PLAYERS WILL BE SELECTED TO VOLUNTEER.
THIS PLAYER IS SAFE FROM GETTING ELIMINATED, THOUGH THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH A LITTLE SCREAMING.
THIS PLAYER WILL PLAY AS A CIRCUS ANIMAL.
FIRST ONE TO CHICKEN OUT GETS ELIMINATED!
"Uhm... I don't know if I want to be the circus animal or the player.", Said Dhane. "I VOLUNTEER! I VOLUNTEER! I volunteer as tribute.", Ruth said, imitating a scene from the Hunger Games. Majority of them laughed, but the rest did not.
Suddenly, all the lights in the room disappeared.
"WHAT THE HECK?! WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR FLASHLIGHTS?", Asked Julia. "HOW DID IT ALL DIE OUT AT THE SAME TIME?!", Asked David.
Suddenly, they heard a loud scream near them.
"WHAT? WHO WAS THAT?", Asked Kate. "RUTH? OMG? WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!", Asked Rizi. "Shoot.", Said Aian.
The lights came back on and they saw a disturbing sight.
Ruth was trapped in a small rectangular cage, dressed like a lion, with her mouth ductaped.
Written on the wall with blood was,
REMEMBER THE RULES
GAME STARTING NOW
Everyone was just sitting there, trying not to react.
Suddenly, a little girl appeared next to the cage. She was smiling, though her digestive organs were falling out her torso. Her eyes were also hanging out.
Kate covered her mouth trying to not make a sound.
Before they knew it, the little girl pulled out a whip and opened the cage's roof. She started whipping Ruth, while Ruth's screams were muffled by the duct tape.
Rizi was holding back tears while covering her mouth. She was seeing such a sight.
Suddenly, Esther couldn't hold back anymore and screamed while crying. "NO! STOP IT, PLEASE! SHE'S INNOCENT! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US?!".
As soon as she screamed that, the lights were off again. The screaming stopped. Nothing could be heard but silence.
Not long, the lights came back on.
Now, Ruth was back in her clothes and now out of the cage. After they let out a sigh of relief, they noticed that Esther was missing. They also noticed a new sentence written on the wall.
CONGRATS, MY DEAR PLAYERS
YOU MADE IT THROUGH THIS ROUND
DON'T WORRY, THE FUN HASN'T ENDED YET
"What the fuck does she mean by that?!", Asked Kiya. "I don't know, but we'll find out soon.", Answered James.
It didn't take them long to find another sentence on the wall.
BECAUSE OF THAT, YOU ALL HAVE A REWARD
"Ooh what's this little reward, huh?", Asked Oliver. Right after Oliver said that, a long table down the hallway appeared. "Um... Since when was that there...", Ruth said. Kiya pointed her flashlight on the table. They finally saw what was on that table.
